The Inside Scoop: Finally, the Superfans come back to WCG!
A couple weeks back the Superfans were gracious enough with some of their valuable time and stopped by Windy City Gridiron during lunch time to answer a few questions. You can find that Q&A right here. (Link will pop like Da Coach's eyes on this post)
(And that link will pop like the buttons on Todd's Husky Levi Button Fly jeans after he gorges himself on this incredible sausage recipe)
(And that link will pop like Michael Vick's shoulder after Julius Peppers and Israel Idonije meet somewhere in the Eagles backfield Sunday afternoon, sandwiching the comeback player of the year candidate between their mammoth selves, thus ending any chance Vick has in winning the aforementioned award, and ensuring the honor will be bestowed on the #1 tackler in the history of the Chicago Bears, Brian Urlacher.)
I feel as though I took that whole "link will pop" thing one too far... Anyway... Just Leave your questions in the comment section and Bill Swerski and the gang will be by around lunch time with their unique Bears insights.

RIP Todd O'Connor
May he be eating polish sausage and watching Super Bowl XX on a continuous loop in heaven.
In heaven... ?
That’s what Todd does 24/7
Bill Swerski: Alright, alright! Now, let me shift gears here for a moment. What is God's role in this? Obviously, he's rooting for Da Bears.
Pat Arnold: Otherwise, he wouldn't have put 'em in Chicago.
Will Michael Vick even make it past
the first drive warm ups?
Also, why are we so blessed?!!?
Guns dont kill people. Brian Urlacher kills people.
if i may give this question a go...........
Mr. Vick, if he knows whats best, will pull a hammy warming up so as to not have to face the latest incarnate of the famed MONSTERS OF THE MIDWAY!!!!

What quarter will Vick be sidelined?
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, 1/2 pack of cigarettes...it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
WHO IS RON MEXICO?

Please refer to the above question as answered by Todd
However, in the unlikely case that Vick decides to play the game, I give him til the 1st quarter before he is punished for daring to run against Da Bears.

Can you guys tell us about any sort of pre-game rituals that you all have,
including any superstitions that might exist?
Carl here
Well, I start every game day off by saying 85 Hail Ditkas, in honor of the greatest football team to ever step foot on theglorious gridiron.
From there I proceed to eat a breakfast consisting solely of bacon and sausage links. After this, I put on the requisite three layers of Chicago Bears gear, and then I meet up with the gang so that we can make the standard sacrifice of one wheel of cheese to the mighty Ditka.

There is a minimum heart attack number. It is five. After that, there is a 1,985 question test about the history of Ditka that you must pass.
Bill Swerski: Alright, alright! Now, let me shift gears here for a moment. What is God's role in this? Obviously, he's rooting for Da Bears.
Pat Arnold: Otherwise, he wouldn't have put 'em in Chicago.
Don't forget Carl...
we did give Todd a pass on the 1,985 question test due to his eloquent soliloquy professing his love for Da Bears…

Why do you think Devin Hester went 2 years without a ruturn TD?
If you go in the bathroom, turn off the lights, and say "Da Coach" 5 times while facing the mirror... Ditka will appear and slap the wussy right out of you.

Hi, this is Bill
I think there must have been some sort of conspiracy, possibly headed up by David Stern, much like he forced Michael Jordan away from the game to try and give other NBA stars a chance at a title, he may have conspired to stop Hester from setting the all time return record in 3 short years.
Imagine if you will the world with the Chicago Bulls eightpeat. And imagine how sad the Brian Mitchell family would be if his record was shattered in a fraction of the time.
Bill Swerski: Alright, alright! Now, let me shift gears here for a moment. What is God's role in this? Obviously, he's rooting for Da Bears.
Pat Arnold: Otherwise, he wouldn't have put 'em in Chicago.
Rumor has it
that Ditka called Lovie and firmly told him that Hester should take a two year break while they let the competition catch up to him, and that’s only to keep it fun and interesting for Hester.

If I'm out looking for the ideal woman to propose marriage to,
what sort of woman should I look for?
Whomever she turns out to be, do you think Dane's betrothed should wear the Ditka Sweater Vest at the ceremony?
No Way!!!
Groomsmen in Ditka sweater vests…
Bridesmaids in HoneyBear uniforms w/ pom poms…
Groom in a Navy and Orange Tux…
Bride In a beautifu dress as white as the “Fog Bowl”…walked down the isle by Ditka himself.
Now that’s a wedding!!!
Unreasonable people make life difficult...

I assumed Ditka would be officiating the ceremony.....
is it possible for him to split himself in two to handle both duties? Two Ditkas……now THAT is a wedding!
This is actually a description of Bob's wedding
Except Ditka was too busy gameplanning how to make opponents look like they had a chance to be in attendance.

Hey Dane, that's an excellent question
As you know, you need a woman who understands why you put Kraut on a polish, and a woman who can pan-fry a pork chop.
In addition, my friend, you want to make sure you find a woman who understands how to take away the five yard slant in a third and medium situation. Once you find that woman, you’ll know you’ve found someone with the essence of Ditka in her heart.

Hello Dane, this is Todd
Just do what I do, put on a Bears coat, a Bears hat, and, eat so much pork products that it starts to seep through your pores, then just let the vibe waft around and they will come to you… they will come to you my friend………

What is your opinion on the turducken?
by I Have Bearsititis on Nov 23, 2010 11:18 AM CST reply actions
Carl and Pat here
We have a couple of problems with the Turducken. We will now outline them, as follows:
1. The Turducken is not available in sausage form – This simply will not do, my friends. Now if you tell us that you’ve cooked it, ground it up, and put it into a delicious lining, we could perhaps perform a taste test of this interesting sounding concoction.
2. There is a distinct lack of pork involved— as we know every round meal involves at least 500 grams of pork, this dish is lacking in the nutritional items required for a healthy diet. Ditka gave us these bodies—it’s the least we can do to keep them going.
Bill Swerski: Alright, alright! Now, let me shift gears here for a moment. What is God's role in this? Obviously, he's rooting for Da Bears.
Pat Arnold: Otherwise, he wouldn't have put 'em in Chicago.
Hello, this is Bill
And the Swerski family has enjoyed the above mentioned turducken. My older, plumper, and not quite so good looking brudder Bob brought over a version of the bird wrapped in bacon.

And the kicker is it contained a sausage stuffing!
Bill Swerski: Alright, alright! Now, let me shift gears here for a moment. What is God's role in this? Obviously, he's rooting for Da Bears.

Holy crap, wrapped in bacon?
I think I’ve just found love.

If you could take a former Bear that is still playing and put him on this team who would it be?

Young Lester, my friend.
If I was going to take a former Bear that was still playing, without a doubt I’d take Ditka.
“But Pat,” you’ll say, “Ditka isn’t playing anymore.”
As a matter of fact, Ditka is playing. He’s playing you for a fool for thinking that you could ever sleep on Da Coach.
Daaaaaaaaaa Coach.

Hello Gaak, this is Bill
As much as I love Da Coach, and there will only one Da Coach. I do like Coach Smith. But with that being said, if Ditka were coaching the Bears, there would be more than 1 Lombardi trophy at Halas Hall these days

Do you believe that some of the Ditka mojo
wafted to the UC last June when the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, or were they just really good?

that question is an insult to Da Coach....
perhaps you should ask how many other tasks would Ditka complete during the process of repeatedly beating Lovie to a pulp.

I play a fair amount of Black Ops
Would it be fair to say that going on a multiple kill streak could be considered going on a Ditka?

We're not sure what black ops is
but it is commonly known that any and all instances of succeeding are considered to be “pulling a Ditka.”

Great question stepeo
I don’t think either would start, but I can envision Julius Peppers rotating at all 4 defensive line positions, and Brian Urlacher rotating at the other 7 spots.

If you were to modify the Philly Cheesesteak to bring it in line with Chicago flavor, what would you do?
The Minnesota Vikings: Where we're so desperate to win a Super Bowl, we'll even sign washed-up Packers.
Why would we want to eat a cheesesteak?
It’s not a sausage…it’s not pork…I don’t get it? I guess if I wanted to make it better, these are some things I could do:
1. remove steak—introduce sausage into the equation.
2. Put it in a deep dish pizza.
3. Apply some of Coach Ditka’s fabulous sauces to introduce taste to what is otherwise a bland, boring sandwich from a bland, boring city.

Hi Robert, this is Bill
And no, you are very qualified to ask a food question. Especially now that your team has given you absolutely no reason to get excited for 2010, unless you are excited by the train wreck atmosphere that is emanating from that Dome these days. And I say that with the utmost respect to you and your fandom. For believe it or not I do enjoy a friendly rivalry with our NFC North adversaries.
